[Q] Light Sensor disabled when display brightness too low?

So I just got Tasker and I've been playing around with the light sensor and I've noticed something strange. If I set the display brightness is below 12% (12% is the lowest brightness setting in display settings), the light sensor stops working. Has anyone else noticed this?
It would be nice to be able to set the display brightness to 0% to save battery and still be able to use the light sensor. I'm running Perception 10.1 with glitterballs OC/UV kernel.
(I'm using Extended Controls to set and see the brightness %)

The lowest I could go is 8% using brightness level widget. If I am not wrong, 0% would be screen off. U could use "screen filter" app to further reduce brightness at night so it does not strain eyes. This lets u go as dark as u want, even upto literally where u cannot see anything on screen.

Adaptive brightness question.

I searched and found no real answer. My question is does it use more battery life to have adaptive brightness on which allows my screen backlight to dim way more on default. I've read and been told leaving it off is best however with it off my screen can only din to what appears to be about 25 percent. Does the service running to adjust the brightness use more battery then just leaving it at its lowest with adaptive brightness off?

The problem for battery drainage with adaptive setup is when the brightness gets cranked up to high in a well lit surrounding even though at times its unnecessary. With it off you can simply apply a brightness percentage that is okay for you in most conditions like when you're mostly in the same office for hours.

Full Brightness is actually 96%

Can anyone also confirm this please? If you go to settings > Display > Uncheck "Auto" brightness setting > set the slider all the way to 100%. Then, go to Settings again > Battery > Optimize battery usage. Let it analyze and then read the first row. Does it also say "Screen brightness set to 96%, set it to auto to save power?".
On my previous P10 LITE, it says "Screen brightness set to 100%, set it to auto to save power". It's either a bug or some weird setting I don't know of that can let you select full brightness.

Show's 96% for me too.
Weird, but makes no difference to anything!

I was thinking that the phone never actually goes to 100% brightness and it might make a difference in very bright places. We can't find out for sure if this phone has a locked brightness for battery saving purposes or if it's some sort of bug. I've emailed them but I don't have high hopes of receiving an answer.

Ok, so I received an answer from Huawei. They said that if I turn off the Auto check box and turn the slider all the way up, it is at maximum brightness. I am not sure if they understood what I meant but that wouldn't be the first time .
Also, on a side note, they mentioned that if I use apps with white background, the brightness changes automatically in order to improve battery life. I thought it only did this when there was bright light outside. The strange thing is that this in-app brightness fluctuation happens even if I uncheck the auto setting, but only when I use a custom brightness setting and not full brightness.
Such a strange feature, I guess the "disable" option nowadays means only what they want it to mean...

Adaptive brightness won't go off

I've seen a lot of talk about adaptive brightness turning itself off but my problem is the opposite, it won't go off. When I go outside it's almost impossible to see the screen because it's adjusting when I have adaptive brightness turned off. I like a very bright screen and keep my brightness set the to the max but it refuses to stay that bright outside. And for what it's worth it always shows that brightness at max but again you can tell it's adjusted on its own. Any ideas?

Question [CLOSED]Manual brightness fluctuations

Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?
I've manually set the brightness of my Zenfone 8 to about 90%. Occasionally when I open the phone it has been reset to a very low value and is difficult to see.
Adaptive brightness is off. Low brightness DC dimming is off. Night light is off,
